The Skin of Time

07/03 - 21/04/2024
Museum Carlo Bilotti Aranciera di Villa Borghese

The project traces the historical identity and transformations of the Villa Borghese Orangery building through a series of paintings that trace the overlapping of the wall surfaces, the "skin" of the architectural structure, interpreting the ages of its life. The numerous transformations undergone by the palace over the centuries are recalled through the stratification of different pigments on canvas, while the materiality and tactility of the plaster is rendered through the use of papers and glues. Danilo Quintarelli, born in Avellino in 1989, has developed his own particular pictorial research focused on abandoning the form dictated by reason to rediscover unconscious forms of communication.
